This is a bit silly.

It's like a kid playing a game.

Worcestershire

The funny thing is, this is a British place name ？
Americans try really hard to pronounce this in a sincere way, but
Brits just go with Wooster. w

Literally ＝ literally and coastal ＝ littoral have sounds that are not in Japanese: l and r are not in Japanese, and t is a mixture of d, t, r

unlike t in Japanese. Besides, a is not a Japanese a, but a narrow a in the mouth. If you can pronounce these well, you will be closer to native.

Incidentally, the longest non-technical English word is

floccinaucinihilipilification
and refers to the action of saying something is meaningless. Certainly this word doesn't make much sense.
